Meh, 6% over 22 years. Means it should take you over 366 years to go deaf completely Say that if he sustained that 6% in the last 4 years, even then it would still take another 66 years before you'd go deaf completely. Worth it to me.

i hear it as loud as i can

not max volume, usually half way, which is enough to be hella loud but not loud enough to bust a speaker.

In the beginning there was Jack. And Jack had a groove. And from this groove came the groove of all grooves. And while one day viciously throwing down on his box Jack boldly declared "Let there be house!" And house music was born. I am the creator and this is my house and in my house there is only house music. But I am not so selfish because once you enter my house it then becomes our house and our house music and you see no one man owns house because house music is a universal language spoke and understood by all. You see, house is a feeling that no one can understand really unless you're deep into the vibe of house. House is an uncontrollable desire to jack your body and as I told you before this is our house and our house music. In every house you understand, there is a keeper and in this house the keeper is Jack.

when its mp3s/online radio mostly average volume. but when spinning, really loud

I think its about the same for me.
I don't listen to it loud when wearing headphones though - damages your hearing much faster.

lol... I know you're being facetious, but my concern is that if you lose "as little" (to me, as much) as 25% of your hearing, that would present problems already.

max.

anytime im in public and i got my minidisc, turned up all the way and he headphones goin, people are always like "OMFG, thats so loud!" but when i put them on, id LOVE for it to be about 20-30% louder for perfect volume.....am i insane?

Buying trance is a lot like buying a car. Don`t buy American.

quite loud at home, but the speakers aren't that strong i suppose.

However, when i'm in the car its a completely different matter. Fucking Loud! Even just a 15 minute journey will leave my ears ringing for a fair bit, with my left ear mor numb than my right as the sub is centrally positioned. But its all good

usually i just listen to it average volume which is listenable, but a bit more...

when i get a new cd or something i've not heard before and it impresses me ill turn it up a bit more though.

but usually ill have it at a moderate volume so it doesn't annoy everyone else in the house :P

When using the headphones, as I normally do, I try to keep the volume down to spare my ears. Too bad human ears are so sensitive, the kind of music this forum is for is best when played LOUD.
